                        When APIs become the enterprise backdoor -- securing AI’s most vulnerable link [Q&A] APIs were once treated as behind-the-scenes connectors. Today, they are the enterprise nervous system, linking cloud workloads, data platforms, SaaS tools, and increasingly, autonomous AI agents. This centrality makes them irresistible targets. According to multiple industry reports, API-related vulnerabilities are among the fastest-growing classes of security incidents. The problem isn’t just exposure; it’s amplification.

According to researchers at Peking University, Tsinghua, and HKU, the new method can slash lithography defects by a 99 per cent. One of the trickiest bits of making semiconductors is photolithography, where light is used to “print” circuits onto silicon wafers. It’s rather li...
